Burnstick

Built on emotion-stirring storytelling and unmistakable vocal harmonies accompanied by a century-old instrument, Burnstick, a JUNO nominated husband and wife Folk duo, are intent on creating affecting music that inspires listeners to feel. The Manitoba based duo features Nadia and Jason Burnstick, esteemed independent artists who united over a decade ago to create deeply moving, cinematic Folk music using their trademark vocal pairing, and Jason's mastery of the lap slide Weissenborn guitar. The pair released their debut album, Kîyânaw, in 2019, which earned a Canadian Folk Music Award and a Juno nomination.  They will be releasing their captivating sophomore album, Made of Sin, this summer.

MADE OF SIN

With Made of Sin , Burnstick carves their own path forward in the modern folk-roots realm, with their distinct and resonating Weissenborn lapslide guitar sounds and interlaced vocal harmonies. And while Burnstick has achieved a level of success and multiple awards along the way, Made of Sin's intensely thoughtful pieces will take Burnstick to a whole new level, unveiling their immense talent.

At the heart of the album is a lyrical quest to find clarity and grace in the muddied waters that surround us. "We are all connected, yet finding a way to understand and support eachother is an ongoing battle.  A necessary one."  Burnstick— Nadia & Jason Burnstick —took to the recording studio with esteemed musicians Daniel Roy (drums) and Bruce Jacobs (bass), to record a dozen songs, 9 that would eventually become Made of Sin .  Rounding out their team are Paul James, masterfully mixing the final songs, and Peter Letros of Wreckhouse, mastering the record.
